Tires Pirelli or Maxxis
For tires, I got the Pirelli P-Zero AS+3 tires for my GLI and they are really good. They beat the DWS06 tires in Tirerack and Tyre Reviews testing.
I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.
I just took off my winter tires from 2017 that have had less than 10k km use during 6 winters. I put on a pair of pirelli sf3 on the front and my old 2020 primacy 4 on the back. The car, a toyota auris feels SO much lighter and happy to turn and so, so much quieter.
All new Pirelli Cinturato C3 on 19 inch are amazing. They are quiet, super gripy and predictable. And the sidewall is really cool.
The Pirellis are a tremendous improvement on dry pavement. I tried flooring it from a stop, and no wheel spin. Amazing difference. I haven't driven them in rain yet. I will say that they tramrail a bit.
I've put 75k km on the first set of Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires, also on SUV. No complains whatsoever.
I use Pirelli Weatheractives and they are an all weather tires (not all season, all weather) and work great and I'm in MB. Our winters are worse than yours and the tires were fine.
DHRs are grippy as hell but are not fast rolling. I swapped out for DHF and DHR to see about getting some extra grip and it was an absolute disaster when it came time to pedal. Ended up leaving the DHF on but putting the DHR back on the rear. I feel like it was a good compromise.
I’ve had mine for 12 months and 4 nails = 3 tire patching and 1 replacement. Unreal. I’ve had 12 other cars and maybe 1 other bolt in a regular tire and 1 flat. My fiance says it’s these tires- they are susceptible to this!!!! It’s horrible!
I'm getting tired of the tires on my GS. They're far from worn (10k miles, P7 A/S 3 Plus, pretty much still full tread), but are terrible in the rain. Up until recently, it was a sort of fun kind of terrible (easy oversteer, 4 wheel drifts, etc.), but yesterday was sketchy understeer at way too low of a speed. I didn't like that. I imagine emergency braking is equally awful. I don't want to find out.
